Pinball Tower Defense, definitely innovative. Was pretty fun all around, but I do wish the pinball flipper bats (I think that's how it's called) were all lined up with the orbs below.

I need to say, I wasn't expecting a game of pinball + tower defense, it's very original and works perfectly XD.
The graphics are awesome! Very Kawaii. The music and SFX combine too much with the game and the gameplay is consistent.
Congrats for this great job! I really have some fun with your game =).
Wow! Best mechanic for a "pinball" game I have ever seen! I couldn't stop playing until I got that evil witch! It was really very fun playing with the sphere and placing just in the right spot to start the volcano and the other points. I just got stuck once in the final level, the sphere went past everything to the right and than stayed there until I die. But it restart at the same level, so that was fine :-D The music and SFX work really fine together, as does the art and mechanics! Thanks for the great game!

Nuclear ReactionWhat a cool and unique idea. I really like these types of games where gameplay mechanics from other games are controlled by 2D character. For me the flipper paddles felt a bit underwhelming as they moved a bit slowly. Great job on this one.

Crypto HamsterDidn't get any further than the title screen because the screen was cut off.

Space DodgerWow, very cute and innovative game. It's not easy to send the orb where you want, but it plays out somehow anyway.

Psychopomp for a Dying WorldThe game didn't fit on my screen, it was a little bit sad. The images look great.

Blood & IronThis is a mix of genres I've never seen before. Really interesting stuff and fun to play!
If I had any feedback I think I'd prefer assigning buttons to the levers instead of having to hit the orbs with the character. There can be a lot of enemies on the screen and I feel like I'm fighting with the controls more than it being natural.

Arcane GuardiansReally cool, and a pretty surprising concept !
I feel this is a really clever and unexpected mix of genres here so i won't spoil it as i think the suprise really adds to the experience :D
I like the character designs and spritework in general,
gameplay wise it feels solid, i'd say the only issue is that it can be a bit hard to keep up given the nature of the controls.
One more thing, just so you know i think i found a bug while playing, at one point i got the energy orb stuck in the trees at the bottom right, below the wands, and for some reason it didn't reset so i was softlocked there.
Other than these small issues, i had a good time.
Well done :)
